I work as a tech there, and let me say, 80% of the sales people there are idiots, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the BRZ. When I got mine they were all super confused about why, and had a bunch of stupid questions about it.

I am glad my toolbox is as far away from the sales floor as possible. lolol

Are there any BRZs in the dealership showroom? I want to come there but I don't want to waste my time if there's none. I just wanna look at one up close.

I believe we have a grey and a blue one. I didn't work today (scheduled day off, yay!), but I will check tomorrow.

We have a red 2013 on the lot with only 21k, but it was used as just a winter car, so I can't imagine how rusty it is underneath.

Hey do you have any idea what you guys would charge for a tranny and rear diff fluid change? My local dealer quoted me an exorbitant price that is way higher (more than triple) than anything I've seen on this forum just for the tranny and said they don't do rear diffs. I'm in your neighborhood twice a month so it would be easy for me to stop for an hour or two.

Alright soooooooooooooooooooooo...

We sold the last brand new BRZ we had today, a 16 WRB Limited. The only one we have on the lot is a used 2013 red premium with 21k on it. A truck with new cars arrived as I was leaving, so I'm not sure if there were any on there.

I will check tomorrow and get back to you. Just so you know we use either regular Valvoline 75-90 (or whatever it takes, brain is fried from work today), or some BG synthetic ish. That being said, if you bring your own stuff, I will have no qualms putting it in for you.

@racing_reject_001: I work in Manchester so if you want to meet up after 4:30 on a weekday, let me know. I'm always happy to share the BRZ
Haha may stop in tomorrow on the way to barnstead but shot you a pm. And it doesn't surprise me a sales guy would do that the twins seem to be the outcast in the import world due to power
